To the guy who posted riding gear is overrated as ragebait, this is riding gear protection with a fall at 80kph.

Took a tumble die to a reckless scooter rider yesterday. Slid for atleast 30 metres on a concrete road. If I was not wearing a jacket, I would be in a hospital with my arm fractured and wounds that would require skin graft. Instead I am in the hospital, having a slight ankle and neck sprain only, treating other patients in the OR. The jacket got shredded right into the armour which got cracks and had melted away halfway with friction(images 1 and 2). The boots also scrapped the road (image 3) and some pointy object took off the leather (image 4). Wear the best gear you can afford guys. It only takes one day and you will have repaid it's value many times over immediately.
